Need a game to keep you busy between now and the roll out of this holiday season's big hitters? Tales of Vesperia is a role-playing game bound to keep you a little more than busy thanks to its epic storyline and slowly progressive gameplay advances.

With an awesome art-style that maintains the presentation level the Tales series is renowned for, Tales of Vesperia offers plenty in the way of great story-telling, micromanagement and real-time battles.

I got this a few weeks back, and I'm loving it. It's the first JRPG I've played in years, the last one being Tales of Symphonia (which I also loved). It's just a shame that we got it over a year after the NTSC regions. I almost wasn't going to get it, after hearing that the PS3 version is coming out soon with an extra character, but I was sick of waiting.
